Open it up and enter your details

When you open Android Pay you’ll be prompted to add your card details.

You can either do this manually by typing out your personal information, or you’ll be given the option of scanning your card, so Google can get your long number and other details without you having to tap the screen.

If you already have a card paired with Google Play for downloading apps and music, then there’s a button for that too.

Simply tap it, enter the CVC code on the back of your card, and your details will be stashed.

You’re good to go

Now you can use Android Pay. It works just like a contactless card.

Simply have your screen on near a pay terminal and you’ll see the option to pay using your paired debit or credit card. Google does not transmit your personal information, instead using a randomly generated number for every transaction.

You’ll get a notification when you spend. Transactions are limited to £30.
